Are you a Christian wife who finds herself micromanaging, reminding, or correcting your husband—and wondering, "Am I mothering him?”

In this powerful Q&A episode of *Marriage Mania*, we respond to a real question from one of our listeners:
**“How do I stop controlling or mothering my husband and start encouraging him to lead?”**

This honest and practical conversation explores:
- What Scripture says about a wife’s role (Genesis 3:16, Proverbs 15:1)
- How good intentions can become controlling patterns
- The difference between helping and over-helping
- Why nagging doesn’t lead to leadership—but respect does
- How to trust God’s design for spiritual leadership in marriage

If you’ve ever struggled with releasing control and letting your husband lead, this episode will challenge, equip, and encourage you.

**Resources Mentioned:**
- *The Helper* – A Bible study for wives
- *The Covering* – A Bible study for husbands

This final episode of our Biblical Parenting Discipline Series wraps up with *core disciplinary principles* every Christian parent needs to know.

We’re diving deep into the heart of discipline...not as punishment, but as a form of loving discipleship rooted in God’s Word. If you want a peaceful, godly home built on grace and truth, this conversation will equip you to pursue God’s way of disciplining your children.

What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why consequences and love must go hand in hand
- The dangers of venting vs. true biblical correction
- How to discipline in private with dignity and respect
- What “tightening up discipline” and “tightening up love” really mean
- Why aiming for the heart is the goal—not just outward behavior

We also share practical stories, scriptural truth, and the foundational goal of Christian discipline: to raise children who fear God, walk in wisdom, and lead others to Christ.

This is the **final episode** in our discipline series. If you missed the earlier parts (natural consequences, restitution, loss of privileges), check the links below.
